Football fans were left fuming after the final moments of Tottenham's gripping Europa League tie was interrupted by an advert break.

With three minutes to go in extra time of a pulsating quarter-final - and with the tie level at 4-4 on aggregate - ITV cut to adverts in Scotland.

So instead of watching Spurs trying to snatch a winner at Basle, STV viewers were bemused to see a Ladbrokes advert with the slogan 'football is on'

Jamie Smith tweeted: 'Awkward moment when the ladbrokes advert telling cammy to watch the football comes on over the top of the football haha!'

Stuart Dickson said: 'Well done STV. It's not like the football was reaching a dramatic conclusion or anything.  Ad break during the match - oh dear.'

And Michael Conroy added: 'It's all those @itvfootball idiots! Another reason why Scotland should be independent.'

Coverage was restored for the penalty shootout which Spurs lost 4-1.
